Protective bag having inner pad for surfboard

ABSTRACT

A protective bag having inner pad for surfboard is disclosed. The protective bag comprises a middle bag formed by corresponding fold of a fabric material for protection of the middle section of the surfing board; two end bags having a triangular shape for the protection of the two ends of the surfing board, wherein the middle bag and the end bags are provided with an inner pad with buffering device formed from air sacs; and a bag body with a detachable strap which can enclose the entire surfing board for carrying.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(a) Technical Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to protective bag, and in particular, aprotective bag mounted with an inner pad, allowing rapid packing andunloading of a surfing board, which facilitates carrying and shipping.

(b) Description of the Prior Art

Wave surfers normally carry their surfing board by way of drivinglong-distance coaches, train, aeroplane and vessels. However, there is adistance by which the surfing board has to be carried on the shoulder ofthe surfer before the surfer arrives at the beaches. During thetransportation or shipping of the surfing board, the board surface maybe damaged due to impact, scratching or deforming. The available bag forsurfing board in the market is generally made by fabric, having theshape of the surfing board with a strap to be carried on the shoulder ofthe surfer. However, the single layer or double layer of the fabricswill not provide protection to the surfing board in the course ofshipping. Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention toprovide a protective bag having inner pad for surfboard which mitigatesthe drawback of the conventional bag for carrying the surfing board.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The primary purpose of the present invention is to provide a protectivebag having an inner pad for surfing board comprising a middle bag formedby corresponding fold of a fabric material for protection of the middlesection of the surfing board; two end bags having a triangular shape forthe protection of the two ends of the surfing board, wherein the middlebag and the end bags are provided with an inner pad with bufferingdevice formed from air sacs; and a bag body with a detachable strapwhich can enclose the entire surfing board for carrying.

Yet still another object of the present invention to provide aprotective bag having inner pad for surfboard, wherein the bufferingdevice includes a plurality of matrix arranged buffering protrusions orbuffering stripes, and the protrusions and the stripes are formed fromtwo layered non-porous films as one unit which is air sac bubble cavity.

A further object of the present invention is to provide a protective baghaving inner pad for surfboard, wherein the buffering device includes anupper cover layer, and the lower cover layer being made from thin filmor thin plate, and a plurality of isolation plates, and the isolationplate is positioned between the upper cover layer and the lower coverlayer and the isolation plate is air sac cavity and is hollow polygonalbeehive.

Yet still another object of the present invention is to provide aprotective bag having inner pad for surfboard, wherein the inner pad andthe outer bag body are mounted by VELCRO faster and are formedintegrally with the middle bag or the end bag.

The foregoing object and summary provide only a brief introduction tothe present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects ofthe present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which willbecome apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detaileddescription of the invention and the claims should be read inconjunction with the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and arenot intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of theinvention in any way. Rather, the following description provides aconvenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of theinvention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made inthe function and arrangement of the elements described without departingfrom the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, there is shown a protective bag A forsurfboard, which includes three pieces bag bodies, such as soft filmwater resistant material or woven forming into a middle bag 10 and twopieces end bag 20; a middle section for protection of the surfboard B,which is folded across to form a middle bag 10, two pieces of end bags20 which is triangular for protecting the two ends of the surfboard, anda strap 30 which is detachable, and the entire protective bag can coverthe surfboard and carry the bag on shoulder, or place in a luggage. Theparts 10, 20 and the inner pad 11, 21 being the buffering device canprotect the surfboard, as shown in FIG. 2. The surface of the bufferingdevice is provided with a plurality of protrusions 111 or stripe-likebubble cavity, and the protective bag can thus protect the surfboard B.

The middle bag 10 is substantially rectangular shape and the inner sideof the two sides is a side edge which can cover the end bag 20 and themounted exter layered adhesive button 101, and the inner section isprovided with an inner layer adhesive button 102. The upper side edge ofthe middle bag is provided with button 103 so that they can be fastenedto form a middle bag which facilitates for opening the bag. The two endsat the upper side edge are provided with a button ring 104. The innerlayer of the middle bag 10 is mounted with a middle inner pad 11 bymeans of the inner layer adhesive button 102, and the area of the middleinner pad 11 is smaller than the area of the middle bag, and the middleinner pad surface has a buffering device. The buffering device is formedfrom a plurality of buffering protrusions 211 or buffering stripes, andthe buffering protrusion 211 has two layers of non-permeable filmsformed as one unit which alikes air-sac bubble cavity. At the back ofthe inner pad 21, corresponding to the inner layered adhesive button202, a corresponding securing adhesive button 212 is positioned.

As shown in FIG. 3, the end bag 20 is a bag having an opening. In orderto hold the two ends of the surfboard B, the external edge of theopening is fastened by means of the external layered adhesive button 201and the external adhesive button 101 at the two lateral sides of themiddle bag 10. The buffering protrusions 211 touch the surfboard softlyand any external impact to the bag body will be dispersed off and thesurfboard is thus protected.

As shown in FIG. 4, the middle bag 10 the surfboard by foldingcorrespondingly and the two copper edges are fastened by a pair ofbutton 103. Thus, when an external force is applied onto the surfboard,the middle inner pad 11 will disperse the impact and therefore thesurfboard is protected.

The upper edge of the middle bag 10 has a fastening ring 104 which canbe fastened with the actuating ring 301 on the strap 30, allowing thesurfboard to be carried comfortably (as shown in FIG. 2).

As shown in FIG. 5, the middle inner pad surface has a buffering devicewhich is formed from an upper covering layer 10 and a lower coveringlayer 120, and a plurality of isolation plates are formed between thetwo layers, which form into air sac like bubble cavity. As shown in FIG.6 and FIG. 7, the shape of the air sac is hexagonal (beehive shape) 131.The bubble cavity is flexible and protect the surfboard, and the bubblecavity is formed into bag A.

Bag A can cover the surfboard B and the surfboard B can be easilywithdrawn from bag body A.

In accordance with present invention, the bag body is made fromnon-porous, waterproof material, and the bag can be used to holdsurfboard and skimboard, windsurfing board, kiteboard, bodyboard,wakeboard, snowboard, etc.

It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or twoor more together may also find a useful application in other types ofmethods differing from the type described above.

While certain novel features of this invention have been shown anddescribed and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intendedto be limited to the details above, since it will be understood thatvarious omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the formsand details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be madeby those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spiritof the present invention.
